Dolphins' elaborate octopus-hunting strategy

I don't really understand the conclusion here.

I could eat babies and they would keep me alive. How does one tell if they are able to "integrate" their food without the baby nature "manifesting itself"?

You would be physically alive, but not spiritually yourself. Although I suppose you wouldn't be a baby either way.

Wouldn't that baby-eating version of me become the new "spiritually myself" version?

Not the same as me now because currently I'm not eating babies, but it would be the new me.

Even if I never start eating babies, I'm still not the same person a year from now.

"You" is a very fluid concept.
